Criminal defense cases won

Freedom for the Innocent and Fairness for the Rest

When you need a defense attorney, you don’t just need any defense attorney. You need a defense attorney who knows how to win.

We know how to win.

This page contains just a partial list of cases we’ve won; the cases were won outright at trial, dismissed prior to trial, or the case was dismissed at or subsequent to sentencing.

Cases won at trial are highlighted.
